RATINGS

96Robert M. Parker Jr.

A massive, opulent red of tremendous power as well as great elegance and nuance, it boasts an inky/purple color along with a stunning perfume of blackberries, cassis, licorice, sweet oak, smoke, and espresso.

92Wine Spectator

Expressive and focused, this red offers alluring floral, berry, mineral and toasty aromas that follow through on the palate, framed by firm tannins and enlivened by crisp acidity. Complex and balanced, in the modern style.

91+ Stephen Tanzer

Liqueur-like aromas of blackberry, blueberry, maple syrup, licorice, rose oil and spicy oak. Sweet, densely packed and deep, with complex flavors of black cherry, bitter chocolate, licorice and minerals, lifted by mint and menthol nuances.

PRODUCER

Bodegas Mauro

Bodegas Mauro was established in 1978 in Valladolid. The 150 acres of vineyards produce about 240,000 bottles annually. The wines are a blend of mostly Tinta de Toro and some Grenache. The prestige cuvee is the Terreus, which is produced only in outstanding vintages. But all the wines usually earn ratings in the 90s from reviewers.

REGION

Spain, Castilla-Leon

Castilla y León, as this region is called in Spanish, is a large region in northeastern Spain that includes nearly twenty percent of Spain’s total land. It encompasses eight provinces and five appellations. The best known of the appellations is Ribera del Duero, though the appellations Toro and Bierzo are also gaining international reputations for fine wine. The region is largely a high, flat plateau and red grapes account for much of what is grown in Ribera del Duero. The other appellations are Rueda, known for white wine, and Cigales. Bierzo is known for the full flavored white wine Godello.
